:::::: However, with Cantor's diagonal argument, often people seem to reject the argument based on the claim that the assumption is nonsense. But this is the entire point of how proof by contradiction works, you start with the assumption that there is a complete list of the real numbers indexed by natural numbers, where when written out in decimal there are equally many columns as rows, and then show that this assumption is nonsense. Then the conclusion is that the only option that makes sense is for there to be '''no''' complete list of the real numbers with as many columns as rows, and this is what Cantor proved.

:::::::I'm tired and bored revising my paper to refute Cantor's diagonal argument 1891. The current version which I consider sufficient is available on google drive, if you or anyone else is interested. Remember it is not about any number system but the method itself.
